Re: 1950 F1 needs new IFS
If I wanted to drive a Mustang two, I would buy one. These conversions come and go. Corvair was the the cool thing at one time. I stay away from trendy things. A straight axle will never go out of style. Most people regret they did the conversion and most of them create some other problem. You can usually walk through a show and shine and spot the mustang conversions from the side of car without looking under the car.
I love the way the old Fords handle and the ride. Most conversions are done because the owner has some kind of ego problem, read to much advertising, wants to impress his buddies (that bad mouth the straight axle)or like a friend said the other day he is non functional.
They sell a lot of kits because of advertising and marketing. Hardwood floors are a good example. People could not wait to get wall to wall carpeting. Now those fake hardwood floors are the trendy thing to have. They are cold and alot of work to keep clean. Then the wife wants area rugs because the floors are cold. Now you have to mop and vacuum.
Stay with the straight axle.

Do not get me started on the stupidity of ethanol. I think one of the monitors is from Iowa and he will delete the thread.
